Chapter 62 Food
The river beach trading area at the foot of the mountain has completely become the protagonist of this transaction because the Ba people have brought out too many good things.
The Wu people, who had the most abundant goods in previous years, were also ashamed of themselves this year.
Other tribes no longer set up stalls, they all squeezed around the Ba stalls, touching and noisy, some looked at pottery, some looked at cloth, and some tried on straw sandals. They were crowded in front and behind and were noisy. The Witch Lords Conference has not been so lively in history.
Not only did the Ba people display the goods, but they also brought some rattan bark and wild grass on the spot to teach people from other tribes to weave baskets, rub ropes and make straw sandals.
It’s not that Xu Chen is unwilling to share these technologies.
In fact, he is still very happy to spread technology that has no technical content.
After all, they are all ordinary poor wild buddies who show off their butts. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.
Besides, even without these things, it will not affect the survival of these tribes at all.
As for pottery and cloth, these two things are quite complicated and brain-burning. Even if he teaches them now, he can't teach them. Keeping them can still tempt these tribes to have close contact with the Ba tribe.
When the Ba people have accumulated enough popularity, these technologies will be irrelevant.
What he needs now is popularity and is still in the stage of making fans.
Of course, he did not see the contradictions within the Wu tribe at all. After all, it was only an hour later, and it was impossible to understand them in depth.
He didn't know Wu's thoughts and attitudes even more, and he just thought that it was his selfishness that made Wu very angry.
What's the use of being angry? He won't care.
How can a tiger sleep soundly beside the bed?
The Wu tribe is so powerful that it is less than twenty kilometers away from the Ba tribe. The more he shares, the stronger the Wu tribe will be. At that time, the more difficult it will be for the Ba tribe to grow. He can see this clearly.
As for the lower reaches of the river, there are even more powerful tribes.
Even if he knows, he won't care too much.
At present, he only needs to plan for himself one acre of three points of land, and use this opportunity to attract enough popularity for the Ba people and make the Ba people famous.
Therefore, at Xu Chen's suggestion, the Ba people not only taught the people of other tribes to weave baskets, rub ropes and straw sandals, but also gave pottery, linen and straw sandals to the leaders of several other tribes.
Although they only gave away a few, this was enough to gain the favor of other tribes.
Even the tribe leaders who were very dissatisfied with the Ba tribe on the mountain just now laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing after receiving these gifts. They gathered with Mom Ba to talk about some topics about family matters. Gugu Gaga seemed very happy and happy.
The sun gradually sets westward, and several bonfires begin to ignite on the river beach.
The Wu tribe brought some hunted beasts and mixed grains and fruits. In the past, all tribes had already packed their stalls and started baking food to prepare dinner.
But today, everyone is forgetting to eat and sleep, and continues to gather around all the Ba people, learning to weave baskets, rub ropes and make straw sandals in groups.
Some people also exchanged pottery cloth with the Ba people with bundles of animal skins, beast teeth, bird feathers and other goods.
The sounds of these primitive people communicating everywhere can be heard.
The great witch's attitude did not affect their acquisition of these new technologies and innovative inventions for the survival and development of their tribe.
In the face of survival and interests, all tribes took the initiative to ignore the unhappiness of the cave and learned from the Ba people excitedly.
Next to the campfire, the boy who was taking several Ba women to demonstrate to other tribes that cook food in pottery was the target of everyone's enthusiasm for everyone.
Especially the leaders of the four tribes would occasionally look at Xu Chen when they were chatting and laughing with Mu Ba.
According to the tribal marriage tradition, Xu Chen will marry and leave the Ba tribe after he becomes an adult. If he can attract him to his tribe, whether it is pottery cloth or powerful weapons, bows and arrows that make all tribes salivate, will become the wealth of his tribe.
Since you cannot be oppressed by the great witch, you can only find a way for yourself.
Moreover, they are different from Xu Chen, and they are both familiar with the situation of the Wu tribe.
Some parts of the Ukrainian tribe are severely divided. Once the great witch dies, the Ukrainian tribe is very likely to split into several tribes. In this way, the tribe alliance will inevitably die in name only. If you want to protect the territory of your own tribe, you can only make your own tribe stronger.
Therefore, it becomes particularly important which tribe Xu Chen goes to.
So, the eyes of several patriarchs looking at Xu Chen became more and more enthusiastic.
Next to the bonfire, Xu Chen and several women were cooking food, and behind them were a large group of savage men and women wearing furs.
They all looked at the several pots of earthenware that were cooking food in the charcoal fire.
As the gurgling water vapor emerged from the clay pot, a scent of food slowly began to float on the river beach.
This is a completely different scent from barbecue.
With an extremely tempting aura.
It smells so fragrant that it makes people saliva.
As the smell of stewed food gradually became stronger and the fragrance began to drift across the river beach, almost all the people of the tribe could not hold back and gathered around the gurgling stomachs. In the middle and three layers, the outer three layers surrounded the bonfires lit by the Ba tribe.
The food is very simple, it is some coarse grain porridge that is mixed with minced meat and wheat beans.
Without oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, it is just a simple boil.
But even so, it is a brand new way to make food.
The convenience of cooking in pottery is fully demonstrated in this simple demonstration.
As the sun sets, the river beaches in late autumn slowly fade, and the wind gradually becomes stronger.
But the cold of dusk could not stop the enthusiasm of all savages.
As the food was cooked, several clay pots were taken out of the bonfire and then mixed with a pottery spoon into the pottery bowl, the fragrance of the food became more and more intense, and the onlookers began to swallow their saliva unconsciously.
I instantly felt that the food that the women of my tribe were grilling was no longer delicious at all.
A few bowls of hot rice porridge with mixed grains and rice porridge, pour a spoonful of minced meat, and then a small spoonful of leeks and wild onion sauce.
When this fragrant food was delivered to the hands of several tribal leaders who were talking and laughing with Moba, the middle-aged and elderly women were all shocked.
The strong and exquisite pottery, the steaming temperature, the fragrant smell, the unique smell of porridge and minced meat, the unique smell of leeks and wild onions. Before they could eat it, everyone was already excited and began to intoxicate.
"A Qi Gaga!"
Mother Ba signaled with a smile on her face, holding a pottery bowl in one hand and a small spoon in the other, scooped up a small spoon of food, and blew it twice and put it into her mouth.
Several patriarchs hesitated and learned from Mother Ba's movements, scooped up a small spoon and blew it gently twice, and then put it in their mouths.
It is warm, strong, soft and rotten, melts in your mouth. When you swallow it, you feel a heat emitted from your stomach and intestines. The coldness brought by the cool breeze of late autumn seems to disappear without a trace in an instant.
"Soga!"
After taking a bite, the patriarchs all expressed their sincere admiration with excitement.
They are all people who have lived for decades, and they are almost the oldest people in various tribes. The food they have always been either raw or cold or dry. They have never eaten such hot, soft, strong and fragrant food.
"A Qi, Liangga is not good!"
Mother Ba smiled and reminded her, then continued slowly one spoonful after another.
Although the patriarchs did not understand Muba's meaning very much, they all nodded, and the small spoon danced and kept sending it to their mouths.
This food is perfect for their taste. If you can't eat it in the future, it will definitely not work.
Pottery must be available in tribes, and must be available as soon as possible.
According to their communication with Muba, they learned that because the journey is long, the Ba people brought small pots and pots for daily use this time, as well as pots and pots and jars specially used to cook a large amount of food, and pottery jars for storing grain. However, large pottery is difficult to make and the number is not large.
The production difficulties are not much, which means it is very expensive and requires more money to be exchanged.
But it is worth spending more money to eat these hot and delicious foods in the cold winter.
The most important thing is that this kind of pottery stewed food is very suitable for women, children, elderly and weak.
If you eat this soft and delicious food every day, not only will the infants and young children in the tribe greatly increase their survival rate, but the elderly will also live longer.
So whether it is for the reproduction and survival of the tribe or for the longer life of oneself, no matter how big or small the pottery is, the tribe must get it.
Therefore, the wind blew up the clouds. Several clan leaders quickly finished a bowl of hot and fragrant food, licked the pottery bowl cleanly. Then they stopped slowly, and then began to discuss the exchange of pottery with Muba with excitement.
Xu Chen and his group of companions of the Ba people slowly finished the porridge and meat.
Not only is it enough to be full, but after a bowl of hot food, the whole person is indeed much hotter and even sweats a little.
The men and women of other tribes around were all drooling.
Unfortunately, the clay pots are not big, and the Wu tribe does not allocate too much food to each tribe, so it is impossible to give them a few bites.
But the food was not enough, and the pottery was still there, so a savage who couldn't hold it in and began to ask for the pottery jar to cook. Xu Chen naturally agreed openly, so the more than ten small clay jars he brought were snatched away. After being divided by men and women from several tribes, they cheered and took them to their own campfire to cook the food according to their own collar.
In order for these brother tribes to have a hot, soft and fragrant dinner, Xu Chen also asked a group of Ba women to help guide how to cook.
So this dinner that should have been eaten before and after the sun sets in Japan was delayed until dark, and a round and huge moon rose to the most lively meal time.
There are bonfires on the river beach, and the strong fragrance of food flows freely in the evening breeze.
